Kitchen Scales

I'm seriously considering picking up a kitchen scale to better monitor things.


Does anyone have any words of wisdom as to what to look for and/or avoid in terms of functions?


I know I want a digital one, but I'm so at the beginning of looking that I don't even know how it will be powered.  I also know I don't need to spend a small fortune on one, especially since Mark will think it's a waste of money.  Fortunately, I have money from my bonus at the end of the year to use for it, so I really don't care.  I'll just be sure to use it and then he can't complain.

My facvorite features on my kitchten scale:


The cover on the weighing area comes off for easy cleaning.


The scale can be manually reset to zero when there is something on it, like an empty bowl that I am about to pur pasta into.

Jaime, I wouldn't have thought of the removable tray.

After looking at the 2 text colors close together, I decided I like the maroon better, also.
